Pineapple Berry Smoothie Recipe and Health Journey

I know that I have talked a lot about my health/weight loss journey in the past. That is because it is a journey I have been on my entire life. My entire life I have struggled with my weight. I know that I am not huge. I haven’t ever been huge. I did get fairly heavy for my frame when I was in beauty school, but I was able to lose the freshman 25 and feel better about myself. That was nearly 7 years ago and I am at a place that I don’t feel great anymore. I am about 5 pounds heavier than I was when I lost all of my weight, which isn’t a bad thing considering how long it has been and that I have put on pregnancy weight and lost that baby weight since then too. The problem is that I just don’t feel good. It isn’t even how I look necessarily. It is how I feel. I don’t feel good because I haven’t been treating my body well.

I have tried living a healthier lifestyle many times. I do really well and then I fail. When I fail, I fail hard. It happens when life gets in the way. Usually when I have to go out of town. Which I have done a lot lately. That is why I am starting over again. Today! I am getting all geared up to start the 21 Day Fix Challenge starting on April 14th, but instead of waiting until then to make a change, I am working on kicking the sugar habit and drinking more water until then.

I am bringing you along on this health journey of mine! Once a week, I will be updating you on my progress! Blendtec has also decided to help support me in my journey and I am so grateful for them! I am going to include some of my favorite healthy recipes in my health journey updates. Many of my healthy recipes use my new Blendtec blender that I am officially OBSESSED with!

The first recipe I am going to share with you is this YUMMY Pineapple Berry Smoothie. It is perfect for the times that I need something sweet. I have a serious sugar addiction and this smoothie helps sooth my craving without actually eating all of the sugar my body thinks it needs.
